Ordered my first pair, Ristos, Friday.. Hopefully they'll be in at the end of the week.
I have a pair of Ristos. Killer shoes. Impeccable quality. Get new laces though, theirs suck.
I understand all of this, I think. What I don't understand is why would you want to make the lift easier? I'm not being a smartass here, just wondering. I am willing to try the shoes, do not get me wrong, but besides using them as an aid to lift weight I would not normally be able to lift on my own, what is the benefit?
You wear shoes for the same reason you DON'T wear skinny jeans while squatting: The goal is to move the most weight, not make the lift as difficult as possible. the weight will be difficult enough without adding shoe issues. Plus, shoes are allowed in all competitions: I wouldn't tell a football player to NOT wear cleats because it makes playing on turf easier. Wear appropriate shoes for your sport.
I don't think they really allow you to lift more weight, rather, they help promote proper form. (Chest high, ass low, good arch, pressing out on the floor, etc). You'll know the difference immediately when you put a good pair on. All the sudden your feet feel like they are locked into the floor. Try wlshoes.com for some reviews before you purchase. There are a lot of different "models" and they each have their own pros and cons, depending on your goals. Like everything – do your homework.
Brandon that was an EXCELLENT reply to that question… great analogy!
Thank you.
I was looking in To the Pendlay Do-Wins. I'm open to better suggestions.
Great article, thanks! Background: I've been back into lifting since February, and after making some progress with squat (265), DL (330), BP (190) & OHP (130) I'm going to get some Oly training at the end of this month.
I've been pain/injury free until the last few weeks, where I've developed hip (flexor) pain at the bottom of my squat. I've stetched/mobilized as much as I can, & tried to read as much as I can to figure it out for myself, but I figure this straight up:
I'm currently lifting in vibrams (I know, but still new to this), do wl shoes (with a heel) generally help in this regard?Thanks again!
Yes, not only will Lifting shoes improve everything, it will make you a better person.
OK, great. Imma gonna hold off on becoming a better person, though, and just focus on fixing my squat. One thing at a time. (Lifting shoes > better squat > ??? > better person)
I have flat feet which tend to make my ankle joints collapse inward. We all know this is bad mechanics especially when squatting. Will a good pair of weightlifting shoes help to keep my feet inline with my ankles and support my "arch? " Or is this more of a fix by just practicing better foot position?
I started wearing proper lifting shoes about eight months ago. I do not feel they really help me lift more than I did before. What they do is give you stable support for lifting. Instead of thinking of them as a lifting aid, like knee wraps, think of them as the difference between lifting on plywood vs. a boxing ring. We all want a solid surface to lift on. Carry that up through the shoes you wear. Just my thoughts on the matter.
Started using my new adidas weightlifting shoes last week.Much improvement on the stability and ability to spread the floor.
But my squats feel a little weird for the moment, I tend to fall a bit forward. Got to get used to the new feet angle since my last shoes had flat soles.
But I feel it's going to be a great imporvment for my lifts.
I ordered shoes from VS Jan 30 with 6-10 day shipping and they still haven't come in the mail, over three weeks later. I've contacted them and was told they're coming. They have three days, and then I'm going to raise HELL.
I just needed a place to vent, lol. I spent over a hundred dollars with shipping, and as a student that is a HUGE investment. I want them now!
On that note, if you're buying in Canada, it's cheaper to order shoes from Rogue (for anyone thats looking) because of the insane cost of shipping by VS from the states. The Rogue shoes my friend bought showed up in three days.
Great article, and I've notice some huge jumps since I switched to Oly shoes a few months back (I think the fish oil also has helped).
All that said, you do a huge disservice with the first picture. The reason he can squat so much is the power in his moustache – the shoes are merely accessories to his facial follicles.
Fab articles. Romaleos 2 ordered!
Wedge sneakers in fashion style are newly release at many online store, UPERE offers you the most discount price.
I'm really amazed with people who can lift heavy weights such as these. What I only worry about them is how much pain can they feel on their joints? Or is there any? I guess these people are also taking joint supplements to keep their joints healthy and strong, right?
Hey Valerie, I'm no expert & new to lifting but as far as I know weightlifting does not lead to joint pain. Muscles, tendons & ligiments support and move your joints, and these ALL get strong when you lift weights. So the stronger you are = more weight you are lifting = stronger muscles/tendons etc that support/move your joints. Your knees will not explode under a heavy weighted squat (unless you have really bad technique). Also bone density increases, a big health bonus (specially for us ladies, I've started lifting at the young age of 44).
What are your thoughts on Metal squat shoes? I do not do not currently do Olympic lifts just powerlifting.
im abdenour boukhenissa and djamel dahoumi from algeria .thanks the bigs and all.
Design: kokum law and its going to shrug touch into a lunge. The tip must not exceed the knee, the right angle. Muscle contractions are getting into an upright position – exhale and change working limb.
Do your calf muscles ache? will your sinew feel swollen or tight? If therefore, you'll be littered with a typical lower body condition best-known as Achilles redness.Foot And Ankle Clinic Winston Salem Nc
I have been using weightlifting shoes for awhile now and notice there effectiveness. However, I tried squatting with my minimus shoes last week and immediately noticed a stronger squat and more stability, which is backwards I know. My WL shoes also put me into too much anterior pelvic tilt with the heel (only .60″in), which I already have some degree of APT in general, so WL shoes didnt help. Plus, WL shoes take away ankle mobility due to the elevated heel and ankle strap. For myself, WL shoes did not help. My body seems to enjoy a flat soled, solid low profile shoe that keeps me in a better anatomical position, and not the use of "artificial heels".
i feel the same way steve. i have always high bar squatted in chucks with no problems but decided to get a pair of nike romaleo 2's so i can take my squatting to the next level. what i found was my squats actually got weaker with the oly shoes compared to my chucks.
the nike shoes made me lose power and speed in my squats. the heel also made me lean forward and just made squatting a disaster. the only thing i liked was the stability while standing up with heavy weight on my back. going back to my chucks and never using weight lifting shoes again.
Hey guys what lifts should oly shoes be used for? And not for? Obviously Olympic lifts but are there any that should be exempted. Sorry if it's a dumb question I just wanna make sure I'm using em right. Appreciate the responses .
These shoes look very comfortable and look like they have an amazing grip on the bottom of the shoes. They look like they are built for the elite wrestler looking for the best wrestling shoes out there..Wrestling Shoes
I really love reading and following your post as I find them extremely informative and interesting. This post is equally informative as well as interesting . Thank you for information you been putting on making your site such an interesting. I gave something for my information. Wrestling Equipment

Super-PAC influence grows; transparency a concernBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | November 01,2012MONTPELIER Its become the year of the super PAC in Vermont, where the first full election cycle since the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision heralded a new, and some say dangerous, brand of political activity.
Unlimited spending by individuals and corporations has given rise to super PACs like Vermonters First, the outfit funded by Burlington resident Lenore Broughton, who had spent nearly $700,000 as of Oct. 15 to boost the electoral prospects of Republican candidates in statewide and local races.
Reform-minded lawmakers are largely constrained by the U.S. Supreme Court rulings that spawned the new campaign finance regime. But election watchdogs say state government still has ways to mitigate the effects of unlimited political expenditures.
Disclosure is the area where the U.S. Supreme Court has continued to allow discretion on the part of governments to regulate, said Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. And thats where I think Vermonts current statute falls short.
Burns may find some high-profile allies in Montpelier next year, where the intensifying public discourse over the pitfalls of super PAC spending will inevitably seep into the Legislature. While there isnt much they can do to limit spending by individuals, House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President John Campbell both say they aim to strengthen disclosure requirements, so voters at least know whos trying to influence elections.
Im already working with our Legislative Council on legislation to try to deal with some of the problems that have arisen, Campbell, a Windsor County Democrat, said Wednesday. Were trying to figure out a way to tailor it so that it will survive any type of challenge.
Smith, meanwhile, is already voicing his support for one of the signature elements of the VPIRG proposal: real-time disclosure.
I certainly would like to move to a system of real-time disclosure, Smith said. If we could do it at the very least for the last couple months before the election, I think that would make a lot of sense.
Burns said real-time disclosure a policy already adopted by the liberal super PAC Priorities PAC, which has spent close to $20,000 this cycle on behalf of Democratic Treasurer Beth Pearce would eliminate one of the many loopholes that now obscure the impact of super PAC spending.
While the largest super PAC in Vermont, funded by Broughton to the tune of $683,961 as of two weeks ago, had to file monthly campaign finance disclosures beginning in July, it wont have to file its next report until after Election Day.
That means that between Oct. 15, the most recent filing deadline, and Nov. 6, Vermonters First or any other super PAC, for that matter could take in unlimited sums of money from a donor whose identity wouldnt be revealed until after the election.
Burns wants super PACs to have to report donations within 24 hours after theyre received.
I think more disclosure about who is giving what money to which PAC, right up until the day of the election, is going to be important information for voters to have, he said.
Burns said an analysis by his office underscores the scope of influence super PACs are already having on Vermont elections.
Broughtons contributions alone, according to VPIRG, are equal to nearly 61 percent of all the individual contributions made to every Democratic and Republican statewide candidate in Vermont.
We cant stop Ms. Broughton, or any other extremely wealthy individual or corporation, from spending money to influence elections, at least not until we change the Constitution or the makeup of the Supreme Court, Burns said. But we can require greater disclosure so that voters know exactly who is behind the blizzard of ads and mailings.
Burns said VPIRG will call for additional disclosure provisions that would force the underwriters of super PACs to assume a more public role in the political process. Since being outed Sept. 15 as the sole funder of Vermonters First, Broughton has declined dozens of interview requests from numerous media outlets. When the weekly newspaper Seven Days sent a photographer to get her picture, she fled from view.
In instances where one person is responsible for more than 50 percent of a super PACs funding, Burns said that persons name should appear on whatever political advertisements their financial support has enabled.
He said he also wants top super PAC donors to have to say in television ads that they are responsible for the content of the ads, much as candidates for office have to for ads produced by their own campaigns.
Its almost reached a kind of obscene level of spending, Burns said. I dont think that its too much to ask Ms. Broughton take responsibility for those ads by appearing in them.

Speaking of walls, this happened last night. The piece is by Erwin Wurm and it's called Theory of Painting, 2007/2014, instruction drawing. I am ... More » »
[Leah reviews a performance art piece with applications to social issues here in Philadelphia, and beyond. --the artblog editors] After attending the newest event at New Boon(e) gallery, "The Off White Beast: A Story Telling Performance," I was left pleasantly perplexed and moved. New Boon(e) is an artist collective that explores the need for an artistic community. The space transforms from a working studio space for a group of member-artists into a gallery/exhibition room, and is unified by the need for critical conversation, collaboration, and exposure that extends to the broader art community in Philadelphia. Setting the scene, and the ... More » »
Lewis Colburn loves history and his sculptures and installations often deal with historical periods and ideas at play in those bygone eras. We would have loved to meet and talk with him in his studio in the Viking Mill building in Kensington, but that building, which houses many artists studios and small businesses, was recently closed due to some code violations (part of it — the space Little Berlin occupies — is now open). Colburn is a CFEVA fellow and a member of the alternative gallery Napoleon. His work is on view until Dec. 6 in the Citywide exchange show As First ... More » »
(Andrea visits two galleries in New York, sees three excellent shows, and buys something. –the artblog editors) Entering Kent Fine Arts these days is disorienting, because beyond the building entryway, elevator, and usual gallery door is a perfectly-realized, functional, used book store: metal shelves full of books, an occasional easy chair, recommended titles arrayed on a table, and a separate section for children. The only thing missing is the dust that usually characterizes such places. It's the only store in N.Y.C. devoted to second-hand, Spanish-language books, despite the fact that a quarter of the city speaks Spanish. E-publishing hasn't fostered ... More » »

Jess Perlitz is a sculptor who makes playful structures for people to interact with — sometimes she wears the sculpture and you interact with her. She has created wooden lookout platforms to climb up on and reinforced concrete huts to sit in. Recently, she created a disco ball bodysuit that she calls "Disco Lump" that performs, spinning very slowly. The ideas are plentiful in her work, much of which is about the voice of the solitary individual in a community. The works, which we've seen in Philadelphia's alternative spaces, are quirky and intriguing. Jess is Canadian, and she is soon ... More » »

The purpose of Plato's Porno Cave (PPC), according to curators Marshall James Kavanaugh and Augustus Depenbrock, is to explore "economics, science, language, and physical reality," and "create a mythology for a truly new world," based on the ethics of Plato's Republic, the myths of the Mayan Popol Vuh, and ...

Every year, since 2002, The Salvation Army-Port Clinton Service Unit has offered Tools for School, a school supply assistance program in August. This year, the program served 617 local students with school supplies and a new backpack.
"Since the program was completely funded by donations, the overwhelming success was due to our local residents, businesses and organizations that donated funds such as The Ottawa County Community Foundation Grant, Stensen Grant, Ottawa County Republican Women's Club, Huntington Bank and the Community donations," said Maureen Saponari, Salvation Army Director.
Saponari also thanked those who contributed funds, supplies and volunteer hours to the program. "We could not continue to help our children without your support," she said.
The Salvation Army - Port Clinton Service Unit currently has additional supplies and book bags available to anyone who is still in need of these items. Call Saponari at 419-732-2769 for more information.

" R e d L i g h t " was some kind of warning message expressed in a bigger picture. Taboo and Longing. Utopia and Dystopia. Reality and Ideal. By presenting all these contradicting codes together, I wanted to show what the world has forbidden on one side; on the opposite, how you yearn for personal ideals.

With this font Emil Kozole, designer and typographer from Ljublijana, Slovenia wanted to experiment with letters, as a research about shapes and different versions and a critic on existing typefaces. Beeing an uncommercial project, it got its character from japan pop culture and american hip hop subculture. Influenced by gotham and geometric fonts with ornaments, Attitude is a parody of these fonts. Typeface is display, bold and has the Kanye West attitude. With 7 different versions such as Regular, inline, 3d, sliced pattern, soldier pattern and a drunk brother who is sometimes wasted. Each one (except inline) has 2 different styles, depending on using small or capital letters. Made for Posters, Sweatshirts, magazines, cd covers, illustrations, motion graphics the type is very various and has more than 1400 glyphs. Enjoy using it!

Ave Aves {2014}
Koji commissioned me to make the poster for his thesis film. He wanted something that looked like a vintage National Geographic cover. But I like taking free-reign on design so I went and played with the idea instead.
I only worked on this for two days due to my busy schedule and the tight deadline. So it's a bit rough, but I'm fairly happy with it.
Below the poster are the initial studies I made before I started working on it. It's an experimental art film that attempts to answer the question of why a bird is like an encyclopedia.
I decided to frame a magnified view of the feathers. I think, without the gold embellishments, one could view the feathers in a different light. Funny how visual elements can influence your perception.
Anyway, you can watch the teaser HERE.
Also, thanks for the job, Koji!

276 Tasting Notes
Last night, the hubs and I went out for curry at a Thai restaurant we frequent. I had some of my veggie Massaman curry left over, so I brought it home and am having it for lunch today, along with this tea.
I had thought about chai with my curry, but decided I needed a plain tea that wouldn't compete with the spices in the curry. Frothed some splenda and almond-coconut milk while the Assam brewed, and then combined for a nice malty latte. Perfect with my lunch.
Tea good.
Had car trouble this morning, so I am working from home. I hope it won't be too expensive.
Thanks Bonnie! Lucky for me, a friend has one of the devices you hook up to a car's computer to read what error codes it has thrown, and it looks like it was a "random cylinder misfire" which most likely means I just need new spark plugs or spark plug wires, which shouldn't be too bad and can actually wait for a convenient time. whew!
Ok, for honesty's sake, i will preface this by saying that I have been drinking for a couple of hours now. Also, I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. PS – I'm at home, not driving, so don't worry!
Ok – hubs made coffee and put some of my amaretto in it, and it smelled soooo good, so I had to try it with tea. I made pot of Black Dragon Pearls.
Before pouring, I added sugar and half & half to my cup, whipped it into a froth, poured into my amaretto, and then tea and…
This is the best thing ever!
It kinda tastes like marshmallows. and it's gooood. Yum!

Originally written on Bronx Pinstripes | Last updated 10/29/14
April 9, 1996 It was a cold, snowy Opening Day in the Bronx. The Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-3. Starter Andy Pettitte allowed 3R in 6.1IP (6H, 2BB), earning the win. Newcomers Joe Girardi, replacing Mike Stanley, and Tino Martinez, replacing Don Mattingly, get booed during pregame introductions. Girardi goes 1-for-5 batting in the second spot and rookie shortstop Derek Jeter goes 1-for-3 hitting ninth. **April 9, 1996 Box Score**

Ballard Brothers: Wild about the salmon and more
Ballard Brothers Seafood and Burgers offers a copious lineup of burgers, sandwiches (try the scrumptious salmon and Cajun chicken), seafood baskets, salads and sides that include chowder, onion rings and fried pickles.
Seattle Times arts writer
Ballard Brothers Seafood and BurgersSeafood, sandwiches, burgers
5305 15th Ave. N.W., Seattle
Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays, noon-8 p.m. Sundays.
Etc: Major credit cards accepted; parking available; no obstacles to access; no alcohol; phone ahead for takeout.
Prices: $
It seems like all summer, whenever I've been at an outdoor festival, I've wound up gravitating at lunchtime toward a Ballard Brothers Seafood and Burgers booth for one of their scrumptious salmon-fillet sandwiches. These are marvelous things: broiled to perfection, smothered with grilled onions, spiced with a tasty Cajun sauce and accompanied by sinfully good fries.
Two weeks ago, I decided to check out Ballard Brothers' actual restaurant north of the Ballard Bridge.
The menu: Ballard Brothers offers a copious lineup of burgers, hot sandwiches (salmon, chicken and cod), seafood baskets, salads and sides that include chowder, onion rings and fried pickles ("four crunchy spears" fried to order).
What to write home about: We already knew how good the salmon sandwich was, in both its broiled and Cajun-blackened incarnations, so we sprang for the slightly more elaborate Grilled Salmon BLT ($7.75), which comes with peppered bacon, lettuce and tomato. It's a great idea taste-wise, but a little messy to get to your mouth. (Note: There are napkin dispensers on every table.)
The Cajun Chicken Sandwich ($6) soaks a thin fillet of chicken breast in a chili-spicy sauce, topped with grilled onions to sweeten the heat factor. The Scallop N'Chips ($7.50) offers six breaded, medium-sized, melt-in-your-mouth, deep-fried scallops. Heavenly. The fries — which come with all the sandwiches, too — are deliciously crunchy on the outside and mash-potato soft within.
In a vain attempt to balance this meal, we ordered a Caesar salad ($5), which was surprisingly good: fresh greens lightly mixed with Caesar dressing and topped with crunchy croutons and fresh shavings of Parmesan cheese.
The setting: You might call it "fast-food maritime/rustic." Not lightning-speed food — but we had our four dishes, ordered and paid for at the counter, within 10 minutes.
Summing up: This really is one of the best deals in town — and one of the tastiest. I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that kids age 12 and under can eat here for free Monday through Wednesday (it says so on the website). For two adults making a feast of it, three entrees and a salad came to $32.88 with tip.

Why yoga is good for absolutely everything...
Practising yoga can help you lose weight, manage health problems and keep you at the top of your mental peak
- Image Credit: Shutterstock
- Yoga allows your mind and body to feel relaxed and de-stressed.
Aquarius talks to Dubai-based yoga instructor Elaine Kelly, who conducts the annual yoga fest at Dubai Internet City, about the benefits of this ancient art form.
Can yoga balance the body's hormonal system?
"Hormone imbalance can affect a women at any stage in her life, but the time when this is most likely to happen, and have prolonged side effects as a consequence, is during menopause. As the body prepares for this change, the endocrine system, which produces and regulates the hormones in the body, can become erratic, sending the body on a roller coaster ride. This is when the women will experience menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and irregular periods.
"Yoga is considered one of the most effective techniques for balancing hormone levels because of the close relationship it has with the endocrine system and the organs and glands that are a part of it. Yoga has an immediate effect on the endocrine system and the hormonal and glandular changes that take place. The poses, or asanas, encourage fresh blood flow to all the glands, causing them to be gently pressurised and depressurised. This is the movement that has a positive effect on the endocrine system. The practice of yoga, and the way in which it incorporates controlled movements, controlled breathing and an aspect of meditation allows this to happen.
"Additionally, yoga allows your mind and body to feel relaxed and de-stressed. When a woman is stressed the adrenal gland produces a stress hormone called cortisol which has a direct impact on the levels of estrogen and progesterone that are produced, causing the imbalance of hormones to be made worse. Alleviating stress from your life through yoga will prevent this from happening."
What are the physiological benefits of yoga?
"Physicians and scientists are discovering brand-new health benefits of yoga everyday. Studies show it can relieve the symptoms of several common and potentially life-threatening illnesses such as arthritis, arteriosclerosis, chronic fatigue, diabetes, AIDS, asthma and obesity.
Asthma Studies conducted at yoga institutions in India have reported impressive success in improving asthma. It has also been proved that asthma attacks can usually be prevented by yoga methods without resorting to drugs. Physicians have found that the addition of improved concentration abilities and yogic meditation together with the practice of simple postures and pranayama makes treatment more effective. Yoga practice also results in greater reduction in anxiety scores than drug therapy. Doctors believe that yoga practice helps patients by enabling them to gain access to their own internal experience and increased self-awareness.
Respiration problems Patients who practice yoga have a better chance of gaining the ability to control their breathing problems. With the help of yogic breathing exercises, it is possible to control an attack of severe shortness of breath without having to seek medical help. Various studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of yoga for patients with respiratory problems.
High blood pressure The relaxation and exercise components of yoga have a major role to play in the treatment and prevention of high blood pressure (hypertension). A combination of biofeedback and yogic breathing and relaxation techniques has been found to lower blood pressure and reduce the need for high blood pressure medication in people suffering from it.
Pain management Yoga is believed to reduce pain by helping the brain's pain centre regulate the gate-controlling mechanism located in the spinal cord and the secretion of natural painkillers in the body. Breathing exercises used in yoga can also reduce pain. Because muscles tend to relax when you exhale, lengthening the time of exhalation can help produce relaxation and reduce tension. Awareness of breathing helps to achieve calmer, slower respiration and aid in relaxation and pain management. Yoga's inclusion of relaxation techniques and meditation can also help reduce pain. Part of the effectiveness of yoga in reducing pain is due to its focus on self-awareness. This self-awareness can have a protective effect and allow for early preventive action.
Back pain Back pain is the most common reason to seek medical attention. Yoga has consistently been used to cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strength and flexibility. Both acute and long-term stress can lead to muscle tension and exacerbate back problems.
Arthritis Yoga's gentle exercises designed to provide relief to needed joints had been Yoga's slow-motion movements and gentle pressures reach deep into troubled joints. In addition, the easy stretches in conjunction with deep-breathing exercises relieve the tension that binds up the muscles and further tightens the joints. Yoga is exercise and relaxation rolled into one - the perfect anti-arthritis formula.
Weight reduction Regular yoga practice can help in weight management. Firstly, some of the asanas stimulate sluggish glands to increase their hormonal secretions. The thyroid gland, especially, has a big effect on our weight because it affects body metabolism. There are several asanas, such as the shoulder stand and the fish posture, which are specific for the thyroid gland. Fat metabolism is also increased, so fat is converted to muscle and energy. This means that, as well as losing fat, you will have better muscle tone and a higher vitality level.
What are the mental and emotional benefits of yoga?
Mental performance A common technique used in yoga is breathing through one nostril at a time. Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies of the electrical impulses of the brain have shown that breathing through one nostril results in increased activity on the opposite side of the brain. Some experts suggest that the regular practice of breathing through one nostril may help improve communication between the right and left side of the brain. Studies have also shown that this increased brain activity is associated with better performance and doctors even suggest that yoga can enhance cognitive performance.
Mood change and vitality Mental health and physical energy are difficult to quantify, but virtually everyone who participates in yoga over a period of time reports a positive effect on outlook and energy level. Yogic stretching and breathing exercises have been seen to result in an invigorating effect on both mental and physical energy and improved mood.
* Spiritual Benefits When you achieve the yogic spirit, you can begin knowing yourself at peace. The value of discovering one's self and of enjoying one's self as is, begins a journey into being rather than doing. Life can then be lived practicing 'yoga off the mat'.
Pride Pride, and especially anxiety about pride, is something which Hatha Yoga seeks to diminish or eliminate. To one who has been dejected because he cannot do his work properly when he becomes tired, irritable, or haggard, any degree of refreshment may be accompanied by additional degrees of self-respect.
Can long-term yoga practice decrease stress?
"To talk about stress, we have to talk about the hormone cortisol. Under normal conditions, your brain slowly releases cortisol into your body to make your muscles work. However, if you're highly stressed (late for work, deadline due, screaming baby…), your brain thinks there's an emergency and responds by flooding your body with cortisol. If there really was an emergency, you would need this much cortisol to deal with broken bones, excessive bleeding, and so on. But if you're just stressed out by life, excess cortisol can lead to ulcers, high blood pressure, bone density loss, and can throw your immune system out of whack (which is why we get sick when we're stressed). It can also lead to weight gain because the body thinks it's responding to an emergency and so holds onto as much fat as it can.
"Your nervous system has several branches. One of these branches controls what your internal organs are doing, and it has two parts: the sympathetic, or "fight or flight" state, which ramps up when you are stressed (and dumps cortisol into your bloodstream) and the parasympathetic, or "rest and digest" state, which controls more day-to-day functions. So, if we're trying to get less stressed, we'll need to harness that "rest and digest" state! The only problem is these two states are happening automatically within our bodies and we can't control them.
"However, yoga has an answer! The diaphragm, the muscle that we use to breathe, mostly functions automatically, but we can also control our breathing when we want to (like holding our breath underwater). So if we practice specific breathing patterns (called pranayama in yoga) we can slip ourselves into that "rest and digest" state and allow our minds and bodies to get some relief."
Can long-term yoga practice boost your mood?
"The practice of yoga asanas, particularly back bends, are highly associated with the positive emotional effects that are produced with the practice of yoga. After the completion of these exercises, one feels more exuberant. Depression therapy or other types of psychological therapy involve a great deal of back bends since these poses help to open up your chest. During this action, you are able to release any negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, stress, and fear. Once you have let go of these, you will feel reinvigorated and renewed. But this is more than just psychological since expanded lung capacity is physiologically considered to affect your mood and behaviour."
Which style of yoga is best for getting your heart pumping?
"Ashtanga or vinyasa yoga elevates the heart rate as the poses flow continuously and include many sun salutations."
Which style of yoga is best for a detoxifying sweat?
"Bikram yoga, taught in a hot room, creates the most sweat even though it is not the most vigorous or energetic styles of yoga."
Which style of yoga is best for chilling out?
"Restorative yoga allows the body to relax in various positions, using props like bolsters and blankets. Poses are held for up to five minutes."
